[OOC] Stars at War (Galactic-scale Military Nation RP)

[Klomster]

@datadogie I'd suggest collab via PM for me.

I'm probably at a different timezone, and i'm usually away on the weekends.
IRL roleplay.

I'm fairly sure the answer will be GO NUTS!! @Lucidnonsense

[Luna_Maria]

@Lucidnonsense

Can there be multiple human factions?

@Lucidnonsense

Yes, you can you make multiple factions of any race.

A note to all future roleplayers. You don't need my approval to make a character/nation sheet and then post in IC. Feel free to go nuts, lol!

[Luna_Maria]

@datadogie

would you like to interact with my race?

[datadogie]

@Luna_Maria, Sure thing, but I was going to already interact with @Klomster's race. Hey, perhaps we could all have an encounter together. :P

[Luna_Maria]

@Klomster said he's afk during weekends so i thought i would keep you busy until then

how do you want this interaction to do go between my zerg empire and your zenohunt federation?

I only see one way, which is that my zerg overmind/leader guy scouts your federaation and decides to enslave it.

edit: if you see any other way, go ahead and tell me

[Luna_Maria]

@datadogie also, where do you want to collab? my choice would be to just write in the ic, but we can pm to plan what will happen in the ic

[datadogie]

@Luna_Maria We can always PM or use something like Titanpad, which would be great, if you wanna make that together (but PM the link to it :P )

Also, I will say that Zenohunts are... Well, let's just say that if the Zerg overlord's first thought isn't enslaving, he could negotiate and trick his way into having them work for him. Zenohunts are very religious, if something threatens their beliefs they will seek to remove it. He could use this to his advantage, if you wanted to say he had spies of some kind that knew about the Zenohunts, to get them to work alongside or under him. Else, well, he'll have a helluva fight on his hands.

@datadogie

can you elaborate on this?

at first, i find it hard to think that my zergs can have spies -- what would those spies look like?
but now that i think about it, it's totally possible that my zergs can have spies that look like zenohunts. yeah! it's part of my zerg overmind's scouting method to find new prey. a very elaborate way of doing it ... maybe even through mind controlling captured people from another race. maybe once a member of another race is captured, they can be turned into spies through mind control.

but what i don't understand is what you mean by... how would these spies use your (zenohunts) beliefs to convert your entire race into slaves?

[Luna_Maria]

@datadogie

let's pm for now.

also, i have to do some errands so i'll be away for an hour

[datadogie]

@Luna_Maria
To answer your first post;
That could certainly happen. There would be scout vessels, sent beyond the territories to explore all of space. It wouldn't be surprising if a few of those had been lost over the years, perhaps having been expected to jump straight into a system with a black hole or whatever. It wouldn't be too hard for a scout vessel to be overwhelmed, captured, and sent back under the control of the Zerg.

Now, the second point, they way they could turn them into slaves if you played it well enough, IE enough that I would believe to my race's extent that they'd fall for it. Let's say there is this alien species or something that the Zerg finds too strong. The Zerg could play it off that the aliens they are fighting somehow threaten the beliefs of the Zenohunts, etc etc.
That, or the Zerg could somehow play it off that they came from the Zenohunt gods, though this would be harder to do however would yield the Zerg a powerful, loyal ally, until Zenohunts found the truth out somehow or didn't start to believe the Overmind any more.

To your second post;
Sure, open up a PM with me whenever ready.

[Lucidnonsense]

hrmmm now to decide on my nation, any other tier 1 or 2 civs yet?

@Lucidnonsense

there's only 1 tier civ and it's a single character created by klomster

@datadogie

I like it :) My zerg overminds are now your gods ;) i have no clue how i'm going to convince your people that zergs are zenohunt gods, but i sure will try!

[Lucidnonsense]

Heres an Idea I play a few starships from The Culture (or something like it), and attempt to peacefully integrate every other species.

Including the Zerg.

@Lucidnonsense

ok, go ahead ;)

i'm afraid that my zergs will simply try to assimulate the technology of The Culture, and then try to enslave the other species within The Culture

@Luna_Maria

The zerg could provide an interesting challenge. They dont seem to quite fit the Culture definition of hegemonizing swarm, and they had better hope they dont fit that definition.

@Lucidnonsense

challenge accepted :)

[datadogie]

No offence, but you don't need to reply to every single post in a separate post. XD

[Luna_Maria]

<<< deletes sarcastic comment >>>

[OfWindAndRain]

Alright, just a note for everyone.

I'm currently in the process of writing up the Juran Ark Federation, a Tier-2 civilization with a more grey allegiance- they aren't deadset on killing anyone, nor on helping everyone. They act in their own interests, always.

[Luna_Maria]

@OfWindAndRain Alright, welcome aboard. I was hoping datadogie would post but i pmed him some ideas and he flaked off.
